"Americans think they live in a democracy. But their workplaces are small tyrannies." A short summary of Elizabeth Anderson's book "Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives".

Quotations

Most workplace governments in the United States are dictatorships, in which bosses govern in ways that are largely unaccountable to those who are governed. They don't merely govern workers; they dominate them. This is what I call private government.
